The two men said they had no comment on their plea to the aggravated battery charges.

Both men are accused of attacking a 24-year-old man Aug. 8 at a convenience store, hitting him repeatedly with the beverage. Authorities say the victim suffered a black eye, a swollen jaw and a welt on his forehead.

Trial is scheduled for Jan. 13

If convicted, each faces up to 10 years in prison and $5,000 in fines.

The sheriff's office has said the incident followed a verbal altercation that initially occurred on the Bourg-Larose Highway and the Molineres followed the victim to the store.
